CCIs are designed to be flexible, enabling them to quickly adapt to new opportunities and leverage cyberinfrastructure for collaborative efforts. They can collaborate with various partners, including industry researchers, government labs, and international organizations. Additionally, the program emphasizes integrating research with education and public engagement and includes plans to encourage participation from underrepresented groups.
